I’m no Ron Paul fan, but I don’t see your example the same way you do, apparently.
What happened in Tampa was the perfect example of how the RINO Republicans will pull out any stop to stack the deck and control the outcome.
Which is exactly what they would do with any constitutional convention. I don’t see how anyone could doubt that, based on their recent history.
They would rather ally themselves with the Democrats than let anything that is actually conservative occur.
Honestly, EternaVigilance, how do you not see a problem with what the Ron Paul supporters did acting as delegates, presumed to recognize their responsibility to vote for the primary candidate elected in their state, but planning an delegate coup?
And you honestly consider this to be a “perfect example of how the RINO Republicans” control the outcome? Seriously?
The Paul supporters’ intent was to make a sham out of the primary process. I can understand how they felt their candidate deserved better treatment, but the fact is Ron Paul didn’t have anywhere close to the support to be a Republican candidate, and there’s a reason for that far more directly tied to Ron Paul than the excuse of the GOP.
Furthermore, if the Paul Supporters really want more legitimate government, de-legitimizing the primary process isn’t a very auspicious start.
Yes, people will corrupt the Convention of the States by similar methods, and that was my point. However my point nowhere involves the GOP allying themselves with the Democrats, as both parties are controlled by Progressive Statists.
